How to Make Citrus Spiced Tapioca
- Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan.
- Add 1/2 cup tapioca pearls, 2 green cardamom pods (lightly crushed), 2 whole cloves, and 1-2 tablespoons of honey (or to taste).
- Reduce heat to low, stir frequently, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the tapioca pearls are cooked through and translucent, adding a splash more water if needed to prevent sticking.
- Remove the cardamom pods and cloves.
- Stir in 1/4 cup orange juice concentrate, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon Tia Maria (optional).
- Allow to cool completely, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. For a thicker pudding, reduce the amount of water.
- Serve chilled and enjoy! Garnish with fresh orange zest or a sprig of mint, if desired.
